A very sad day...
Today was a very sad day. Chris and I have grown very close with a family here in Lansdale. They came on our church camp, they camped with us on Melissa's bday for a night, they have spent some wonderful special days with us. They have two gorgeous children, Their youngest, Melissa prayed a blessing for when she was born, and Their oldest is going to go to school with Brayden.
I tell you all this to ask you to pray for them. Pray for their family. Today we attended her father's funeral. This was a very hard day for us. He was too young to be burying. Yet, he had been withered away by Alzheimers, blindness, and some other health issues. For the past two years he had been in the nursing home. He was a devout Catholic, but from what we were told he LOVED Jesus. As we have been by this families side. God has been nudging their hearts, and it has been a very emotional ride. But, I write all this to tell you, that if you could please, pray for this family, we would greatly appreciate it. They want to raise their children catholic, yet they still love to participate in our church family. So, what I am asking you to pray for, is that we would atleast meet the need of whether they are a Christian and know Jesus. To be honest, that is the MOST important issue. I just want them to know JESUS. They can sort out the religion stuff later. But, as of right now.. They don't go to any church, but when they do... they come to ours. I pray that our church family would meet their needs and be a help in this time of sorrow and sadness.
